was compliment to the city council
for raising the school suporlntendents

ed, was arrested by Mr.. Rembaugh, of
this city, on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
The case has been set for trial on
next Wednesday, before Justice

understanding among a number of
people, who think Mr.. johnson COM
mitted the act with the knowledge
that he was performing criminal of
Tense for the sake of obtaining the
triAing sum of s25, the amount of the
draft. The BAzoo, for the purpose Of
learning the truth, saw Mr..
johnson yesterday, and when
the subject was approached
he took from his pocket the contract,
which gives him the power to act for
the firm he represents.
